Machka I love the new pictures! You live in such a beautiful area! I agree about the waves. I miss that from when we lived in FL. We were always near the water and for years walked to see the sunset every night. It was so calming and beautiful!2

Morning, afternoon and evening, all,
As we hit the last day of August, I get to celebrate a goal attained, of being in the gym working out at least five days a week for the month. In fact, I hit my 28th day in the gym yesterday, so surpassed my "old wive's tale" goal of "do it 27 times to make it a habit," as well.
My eating has been pure wreckage, but that's OK, I knew my appetite would go up when I got back in the gym, and needed the gym most right now. So... I gained 8.1 pounds, but lost an inch around my waist.
I know this means some of the weight gain was muscle. I also know a few pounds of it is water, as I've been noshing on crackers the last few days, which add water weight on me like mad. Will probably sweat most of that off today as we get the lawn mowed and trimmed.
My goal for September will be to continue working out, but get my eating under control and take those top eight back off, as the daughter and family will be here October 13, and I'd very much like to be lighter by the time they get here.
I'm reading everything, but commenting little, but please know my heart is with y'all as you celebrate, and I'm sending you all good thoughts when the news isn't good. Welcome back to those who are back, and welcome to those who are new... we're awfully glad to see you! You belong here, and you matter. Barbie will start a new thread tonight (Pacific Time), and we will post our August results, post our September goals and get on with it! I'll see y'all there!
Love y'all,

Battling the crud. Fuzzy head. Talk to you all later. KJ 8 -
Connie - so glad to hear about your mom. I wish the best for her going through chemo and having a mastectomy.
-Shannon2 -
Happy Saturday ladies!
Luci - thrilled for you that your eye is doing so well!
Donna C - welcome! Your activity level is inspiring Hope the new job works out OK IF you want it to.
Machka & Margaret - so glad you are on this thread and sharing your experiences in dealing with the medical and legal challenges for DH & son. ((((HUGS))))
Machka - beautiful photos of the beach, thank you for sharing!
Heather - right before I retired, IT department starting loading Windows 10 onto our computers. I.COULD.NOT.FIND.ANYTHING!! It was not intuitive at all, reminded me of when they tried teaching "new math" in the 60's. Some day our old Windows 7 will have to be replaced - I'm going to see if the local college has a class on "intro to Windows 10" to cut down the frustration.
Regarding blood pressure, I have severe white coat syndrome. 160/95 is not uncommon while sitting in the doc's office. I have a blood pressure meter here at home and check it daily, various times of the day. Mornings it ranges into the 140's/90's. By evening I get readings of 120's/70's. I am no longer on BP meds - even half a tablet of Losartan makes me dizzy. So I'm wondering if your dizziness is connected to your medicine.
Rebecca - glad you and Lee survived the trip to Seattle and he's doing so well!
Viv - don't forget to share "before" and "after" photos of your new kitchen! Hope the install job gets done with minimal hassle.
Where's Barbara AHMOD?
I think I'm healing OK. Have the adhesive allergy/rash under control by taking benedryl and applying hydrocortisone ointment on the red spots. Look worse than they feel. I am going to suggest they tell people with known adhesive allergies (I told them about it at the pre-op) to make sure to have an antihistamine and hydrocortisone cream on hand just in case. Luckily I had the bottle of benedryl here to calm the dogs!
I'm ticked that I had to search the internet to find out about how to get the rash under control.
I'm just taking a little ibuprofen now and still using the ice pack now and then. My goal is to drive next weekend. I'm sure the clerks at Walmart are missing me terribly.
OK ladies, that's it for now. Make it a fabulous day!

hi ladies,
life has been busy busy, but I wanted to share some good news. I have been dealing with a pre-cancer diagnosis for ~2.5 years (endometrial hyperplasia with atypical cells). I fought to NOT have a hysterectomy (for various reasons) and have made quite a few lifestyle changes (nutrition, exercise, etc) and have been on medication that was supposed to help regress the cells. Well, not only was my most recent biopsy cancer-free, it is ALSO pre-cancer-free; the endometrial hyperplasia is gone as are the atypical cells.
Now I'm coming off the meds and experiencing some side effects from that.. but also going on HRT to help with perimenopausal symptoms. This week has been rough, but things are definitely going to be looking up.
I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend. We're taking care of things around the house that need to be done, including setting up an area for our new guinea pig habitat. We're also trying to get some things done around the property with the tractor before we get it picked up for maintenance & minor repairs as we'll be without it for a couple weeks.
Today is a brand new day.

Janetr: I keep trying to emphasise keeping up the exercise to DH. When he first had his meniscus problem in March, he literally stopped all his exercise. Nothing I said got through to him. When he finally went to the doctor, he told him exactly what I had been saying all along. But because of his bull-headedness it’s taking him a long time to regain the strength he had.2

Machka We have a sign hanging on our wall that says "If you are lucky enough to live near the water, you are lucky enough."Shannon, What great news. Thank you for sharing it with us. Best wishes on the next steps of your health journey.Rebecca, We drive from the Olympic Peninsula to Seattle twice a year for Jake to see the cardiologist. We treat ourselves to a fun restaurant lunch to make the trip more like an adventure. Congrats to Lee on a good report. Barbie in NW WA 3

Donna C: I’m keeping my fingers crossed for your dream job.
M in OZ: I don’t see any reason why you would lose your hair unless you were pulling it out in frustration, but I’m impressed that you didn’t go stark raving mad through this ordeal. You are amazingly strong, organized, and persistent. WTG!!! Walking on the beach is a lovely thing to do. You are lucky to be so close. :flowerforyou:
Heather: I’m happy that your DH was able to get the photos on his phone. I keep many on my phone and many on my computer as well. There is duplication so that I can see the photos at home on my computer or wherever I happen to be.
Lisa in AR: Congratulations on all of your health successes. :bigsmile:
Lanette: OMG! I had A grades in pre-algebra. New math in the 60’s RUINED my mathematical progress. SMSG Algebra, followed by SMSG Geometry made me mad and sad. The whole program was awful and we had a bad math teacher two years in a row while we suffered through it, to boot. I’m no longer sad, but still more than slightly bitter. :grumble: I’ve been missing Barbara, too. As I recall, they were planning to travel for a while. After being marooned by landslides for months I can’t blame them. I would love to hear from her again.
Shannon in Ontario: Canada, Oregon or California? :huh: It sounds as though your health is improving thanks to your own good lifestyle and eating choices. WTG!!!!! :flowerforyou:
Terri: My DH has been sedentary for a long time. He’s put the blame on MS even though his MS has been stable for several years thanks to good medicine. We have a pair of recumbent tricycles in our garage and he’s talking about getting his tires inflated and getting to work. I hope he follows through.
I got a phone call from my daughter last night and the opportunity to chat with my oldest grandson on his birthday. That birthday call felt like a birthday present just for me. He is 5 years old and starting kindergarten.
I plan to share my goal progress for August now. Towards the end of the day Barbie will set up our new thread for next month. There will be a new link as part of her thread set up. Watch for it and open it to get yourself set up for September.

Min Oz- lost my hair in chunk y eye brows from peri menopause hot flashes a few rosemary oil drops to water in spray bottle spray roots rub on eyebrows it will be less itchy y grow back.
Connie- Few Women your mom’s age after getting the mastectomy (If we’re big breasted) healed up enjoyed not having the weight y being able to sleep in any position. It’s just as painful as breast implants tho or breast reduction surgery so make her comfy as possible. Coworker of mine wore a padded bra for work but took it off after kept it off she loved not wearing the torture devices were forced to wear! Lol I go free at home myself.My breasts have gone up 1 size every pregnancy so I’m a large D! Chemo isn’t fun Mom had that for decades we let her sleep made the room dark made sure she had equate or name brand nutrition shakes! For every meal! High calorie items that she could have that were soft foods.If she started loosing hair a nice hair cut...they sell hats 🧢 that are cute we put one on her. Lots of movies to laughter with cozy blankets on every couch y a potty chair nearby or bathroom (lots of furniture rearranging but worth it) .A basket with change of clothes in each bathroom in case needed (came in handy for guests less embarrassment for her not us). Spray dry shampoos y wet wipes. Help in the shower!!! Vertigo can happen is why. If she likes computers to books set up a spot. Relaxing music y if can lavender wall plugs from glades what we used by her chair y bed! Humidifier to heating pads we had ice packs to yogurts . We had idomodium to natural bathroom remedies like probiotics.
Debby -You go talk to the storage guy if need be with her Sometimes is older gals get stuff done that younger ones can’t (she’s been a victim isn’t pushy but you can be). Plus he may not understand it’s an escaping abuse situation their more likely to give it over 4ft n those cases than normal situations.Wording is key 🔑.
Still trying to figure out how to make our Spanish ,Native American,y Hispanic family recipes with less salt to calories not much out there on the how to do this front.
Yet German to British family recipes are so easy to convert! Lots of web recipes out the wazooo!
Lots of low calorie sweets to condiments now so easier to keep snaking or meal calories down. JRs high calorie diet items are on 1 shelf down low so if our fat butts want some we got to exercise to grab it lol 😂...noticed their not getting touched. Sugarfree cookies to Sugarfree chipotle Walden 0cal dressing eye level along with baked Cheetos. Even cereal in reach.Keep reading said
1.Purge out dated items
2.give away or slowly use up as a side item the things you need to purge
3. Replace items once gone with healthier options only
4. Clean your pantry wipe shelves look at what you got.
5. Continue process a few times
6. Finally when you can’t do much more
purge what you kept but know you won’t eat (Halloween candy!)
7. Arrange it where lower cal y healthier options are eye level for cravings
I finally finished my pantry y almost finished my freezer (1 item to use up everything bad was purged).Fridge done!

Yeah ... just a figure of speech ... I felt like pulling it out in frustration!!
Mind you, in the first couple months after his accident, I did lose quite a bit of hair from a stress level I had never experienced before. It gave me a bit of a layered look when it grew back.
Thank you very much for your comments. I've always been told I'm stubborn ... maybe that turned out to be a good thing!

Luck!!!! Found a 5foot teepee!!! Width 51x51x60 Tall Onsale half off at Walmart online only $25 also got him a nerf ax for fun days zombie ax lol. He loves tools it will fit in his tool box lol. He can’t outgrow this tent ever ! It’s HUGe! Lucky 🍀 day it went on sale for Labor Day!!! Limited time just when I needed it! Will be the main Christmas gift 🎁. We celebrate December 24th as Christmas so don’t be surprised if I say happy Christmas Eve 23rd a day earlier than most of you.

SW WA State where we had massive thunderstorms on Thursday afternoon & rare 1 1/3 inches of rain. Hooray!
Thank you Lanette for your support. My goal toady is to make a spread sheet of the tasks I need to complete. One thing I have learned already is if you have a paid for car it is best to have another person on the title besides you. I guess it can get complicated trying to sell your car when the person passes If you have beneficiaries on your account make the secondary beneficiary your trust. These are just a few things I have to finish getting things order. Still have not heard from original lawyer about our primary residence being in our trust. I am afraid I will have to pay for this with this new law firm. This time I will insist on a copy of the new deed before I pay the fee.
Our executor is a niece who lives our of town, so I want to make it as easy as I can for her and make sure everything is up to date. Talked to darling brother who settled my mom's estate. My mom had everything in order except for a small number of shares of stock worth about $1000. Brother has a file an inch thick trying to get them to release the money. They say he needs a lawyer. The lawyer would cost more than this is worth. He says he still receives dividends and figures it will eventually be turned over to the state. I teased him and said enjoy a meal at MacDonald's using the dividends.
I am so grateful to my mom and brother for making this such an easier process when she past. It is hard enough to lose your parents. To have to straightened out a financial mess,it is the lawyers who make the money. It also just adds to the stress.
I will say it again to if your families spent or not not have much money at their passing please walk away. It is not your responsibility to straighten this out. It will just cause you heartache, STRESS, and money you will probably never see again. If you do decide to spend some of your own money keep good records like Allie did. If there is any money left over you might get reimbursed for some of it.
The state and creditors will eventually take over after many pleas to you. They figure they have nothing to lose. Just repeat you are under no legal obligation for these debts. The creditors will take what ever is left in the estate.

Just got back from our long bike ride. 23 miles today. It was really tough on me for some reason, heart rate was higher than normal. We got a late start, so it was much hotter than we would have liked. I need to revisit what I’m having for dinner the night before these long rides, as well as what kind of exercise I’m getting the day before. I think both of them are holding me back.
My husband recently started testosterone treatment and oh boy, it’s working! His strength is back to where it was before he had a stroke 3 years ago and he really had to dial back his riding today so I could have any chance of keeping up with him. But I’m disappointed in my own ride. I used to be able to average 12-13 miles per hour. Today i struggled to keep it at 10. I couldn’t ride much until two weeks ago due to some health challenges this year, combined with Tucson’s brutal summers, so it’s taking me time to get back to where I was. And my calories burned was less
. Ah well.
Thank you all for the comments on the quilt. I’ll post the next two once I finish them. Just have to quilt one that is a rustic looking American flag wall hanging and do the borders, sandwich and quilt a king size one for our bed. I have a list of another 10 that are waiting to be done, one of them I need to have finished before October 28 when we leave for Houston to visit my best friend. That one is one I’m taking to her, so I need to get busy on it! But first things first!

@LuciBThinner I thought of that quote. yes, movement agreed, but not sure how. everything seems to hurt a bit if I move it. I do walk a tad and have the impression that it's not great for the tear, whereas it's been About 3 weeks.0

Hi all,
Busy day, lots of talking/walking/eating. Just squeaked in under maintenance calories. Will have to do better to get svelte for the cruise.
DH's daughter was fine - very tired, but basically ok. She is living in an apartment in London that she is desperate to sell, because of noise issues from horrible people above her. She has dropped the price, but no luck. Consequently she tries to be out of the apartment as much as possible. Endless weekends away and late nights. At 45 she is still living like a young woman, but she isn't that young any more.
The family are back from France. They seem to have had a wonderful time. We are having them for the day on Monday as DDIL is back at work in London and school starts later in the week. Her parents are coming down for the next two days until they go back to school.
Looking forward to seeing you all in September.
Much love, Heather UK xxxxxxx2 -
went out to meet friend F for a drink. we got a little glass of wine each and then shared a cheese and plate and I got a small sorbet after. the cheese was a little too heave for what I was needing, but tasty - I think this place only has drinks cheese plates and cold cuts. glad I prefer sorbet to ice cream; I like trying weird new flavours. this was apple-elderberry sorbet. it was light and delicate tasting. barely walked but did Stand for a good 10-15 min as friend was late and we had a meeting point in front of a well-known shop.i rarely stand immobile for long and didn't think about that being an issue. I just read that in some cases it's not advised to walk and put pressure on meniscus. I also just read "Sixty percent of the population over the age of 65 probably has some sort of degenerative tear of the meniscus." Jeeze! anyway. pleasant evening out.i think my friend F rarely gets to get out with a 2 year old kid...3

Banana y oranges - I can guarantee with a 2yr old she’s not getting out much. Even to get a haircut big ol’ JR sits in my lap so he won’t get into things or cry lol.If hubby comes he holds him.Few minutes later a melt down we go home not having anything accomplished or he’s good but highchairs to shopping carts don’t fit him then that’s another problem.

I ate too many treats today. The sugar gets me off track; I can't just have one. And I was doing so well!! Busted my calories by a couple hundred. At least I know that, so I know how much damage I did. Tomorrow is another day.3
